On my walkthrough I came upon this amazing way to track reading. In the 2nd grade classroom the 2 Mrs. Schaeffers came up with a great idea. They are encouraging the students to read at least a 1 point chapter book for their AR time. They use bookmarks to record the points they have earned. They must pass the AR test and the book must be at least a 1 point chapter book. When they finish each row (5, one point chapter books) they get a reward. Their goal is to complete the entire book mark. Mrs. J. Schaeffer said that 1 student has already completed 2 bookmarks and is working on her 3rd bookmark. Wow! Our second grade students are really reading!
Just a reminder that preschool graduation is Friday, May 2, at 1:30 in the Bronco Room. I was visiting the preschool and they are very excited to perform for you and become Kindergartners!
A sixth grade student earned a RARE Award this week. She earned it for following directions and being a good role model.
The freshman class was kept very busy! From the highway and 4th street to cleaning behind sublime boutique to mulching for the school, no job was too big or too small. I'm super proud of how flexible and hardworking this group of kids are!
Today is Community Clean-Up Day at school! The third grade picked up trash along G Street and cleaned out our recess shed.
Juniors and Seniors helping out the volunteer firefighters today at community cleanup day.
We had a young lady in Kindergarten earn a RARE Award last week for being Respectful. Ms. January said that she is quick to do what is asked of her and alwlay uses her manners.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are finished with testing. First - Third grades will be bringing home their testing reports today. The Kindergartens reports have already been sent home. Kinder through second grade took the MAPs test and you will get the MAPs report of their progress. Third grade through Eighth grade took NSCAS. Their progress report looks different from the MAPs report. Fourth grade through eighth grade should bring their NSCAS report home tomorrow. If you have any questions regarding these tests or the reporting format please contact Mrs. Isom at the school (308) 636-2252. Have a wonderful day!
Thanks!
Bobbi Isom

We have had a plethora of students earn RARE awards the last 2 weeks. Due to illness and testing I have not been able to get them posted. We had 1 kindergartner, 2 fourth grade students, 2 fifth grade students and 6 sixth grade students earn RARE awards. All of these students are amazing and I want to make sure they are posted and recognized. If you see them, tell them great job!
